Welcome

Syracuse University is dedicated to academic rigor and achievement and empowering student success. Our faculty scholars on campus and around the world prioritize student learning and innovative research. Our diverse, entrepreneurial students embrace discovery and collaborate with faculty on scholarship with real-world impact. In doing so, they develop the skills and knowledge they will need to address the complex challenges of the world today and achieve their full potential.

Syracuse has a long legacy of academic excellence, and we continue to build on that legacy in ways that prepare students to succeed in a constantly changing world. Many of our programs are recognized nationally and internationally as the best in their fields, and distinctive interdisciplinary programs are breaking new ground as they draw on expertise from across our 11 academic schools and colleges. This legacy of excellence is rooted in faculty who are superb scholars, teachers, and mentors; in a rich array of experiential learning opportunities across the nation and around the globe; and in innovation attuned to emerging needs and opportunities.

By building on our longstanding strengths, embracing innovation, and advancing teaching excellence as central to the learning experience, we empower students not only to excel in the classroom but to achieve distinction in the world as a result of their Syracuse education.

Introducing Orange SUccess

Middle States Self-Study 2018

Syracuse University is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. To retain its accreditation, Syracuse must conduct a self-study of its academic and co-curricular programs and functional operations every 10 years. The current self-study began in fall 2015 and culminates with a Middle States peer review in spring 2018. For more information on Middle States and the reaccreditation process, or to review the self-study design plan, please visit our Middle States site.
